Chapter 124

"Yes. I'll keep that in mind."

"No, you don't have to be so stiff, just take this."

Heint smiled sheepishly and pulled out a communications item.

It was small enough to fit in the palm of his hand.

[Let's see].

Russell immediately checked the contact item.

[It's not enchanted.]

Reassured by his words, Lucion took the communication item.

"I thought it had a location-tracking spell on it."

"If you go off on your own, let me know in advance, and if anything happens, just use this to contact me. I'll be right there."

Heint said, pointing his finger at the contact item.

"Understood."

Lucion replied, then grabbed the last seatbelt, just in case.

"Oh, and can I tell you one more thing?"

"Don't be cautious, tell me anything, I don't want you to be uncomfortable for three weeks."

"I'm a bit of a sleeper."

"I heard that from Carson, so I'll take that into consideration and have a little escort around you at night."

"Great!

Lucion sang a happy tune inside.

With that, even the harnesses were secure.

He was almost grinning from ear to ear at the thought of saving time when they'd have to get moving as soon as they reached the south.

"Thank you, brother."

But Lucion's gratitude was unaffected.

Heint smiled, pleased with how different Lucion was from Carson.

He could say "thank you" without missing a beat.

As far as he could tell, the only thing that resembled Carson was his face.

"Now get some sleep. I'm getting a little sleepy."

"Yes. If you'll excuse me, I'm a little tired after being up since dawn."

"I know. I'll wake you up when we get there."

Heint looked at Lucion's closed eyes and listened to his surroundings.

"Nothing around yet."

Heint's eyes soon turned to Hume.

"You should get some rest, too."

"I'm resting."

Despite his words, Hume immediately pulled out a blanket to make Lucion comfortable.

At the sight of him, Heint let out a small, warm laugh.

He had never seen a butler serve his master to such a degree, he thought, and he envied Hume.

The town with the gate to the south was different from the town with the gate to the center.

Before the carriage reached the town, Heint dismounted and took some of the knights to look around.

-Look, Lucion, I can see the gate in Latta's eyes! Hee hee!

Latta's tail, hanging from the window, wagged uncontrollably.

-You know, Latta, you wanted to ride the gate again? I had a dream about riding the gate yesterday, and now it's happening! I can't believe it!
